A Leamington man collapsed and died as he crossed a road yesterday. Robert Steven Ward, 41, of Dunblane Drive, is believed to have fallen over as he was crossing Montrose Avenue, shortly before 6pm, and suffered a wound to his head.

Police said he died at the scene, despite attempts by the ambulance crew to resuscitate him. Officers said he may have been drinking.

A full post-mortem will be carried out later today but the death is not being treated as suspicious.

Anyone who may have seen Mr Ward in the hours leading up to his death is asked to phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
